It's crazy to me that there's no screenshots on the blog post. And when you click through to download it there's a bunch of aspirational pictures, but only one short clip showing what it actually looks like. Why? Is it too hard to show a screenshot?

It is just an 11.8 MB poor alternative to the browser, it is offering keyboard shortcuts and the ability to read your screen, you still need internet connection and manually authorizing access.

Marketing said "let's make it evergreen" since they can't count on the Product and Legal team keeping it consistent for the next few months or so.

Maybe the marketing-slop-AI is forbidden from using the "execute and screenshot" skill?

About time, I've been having resource usage and stuttering issues on browser from time to time (both on Firefox and Chromium). It seems a little bit better on desktop.
I still don't understand why aren't they merging Antigravity - Gemini - Spark under one app though. Antigravity is still looks confusing to me.

Just wanted to say that if you want to learn any hard topic, Gemini > ChatGPT. I pay for both.

Interesting. I wonder if this will evolve into something closer to Codex or Claude Code, where it can actually work across files and tasks on your computer, not just act as a desktop chatbot.

Google apps don't evolve, they fragment and then die. I'd give this one a year or two at most.

They already have antigravity for that, I can see these two getting merged sometime in the future.

There will be a new replacement app to combine them, but it will only handle around 60% of the functionality of both.
All three will receive no further updates.

They'll launch it as Google Gravity, because the anti- was always a negative that Marketing didn't like using, and alliteration tickles your brain better.
Also, that it tries to be the answer to the "everything app" and suck up resources and positions like a blackhole, as bright shining SVPs eventually implode into their golden parachutes.

Doesn't work on windows arm machines.

Did Google do something special to block Windows on ARM?

Specifically a stack overflow bug. So the app wont start. Possibly because the app is running through the prism emulation layer on windows for arm

i was looking for this comment. raises question how managements work at big tech. why didn't they release in first hand along with androud and ios apps, only long-standing apps are the one that started before generative ai stepped. whats the vision here?

To be honest, I have no idea what kind of user the Gemini app was built for. It's just too frustrating to use

I have not used the windows app, but the android one works just fine. Same as chatgpt.

The Spark feature's UI isn't as good as the others.
For example, I'm not sure if it should prominently show recent workload, and unless I use MCP to manipulate files on my computer, local file manipulation isn't possible. Personally, I don't think it's going to be that useful.

Not "that" bad, but I get frustrated as well since I've got used to GUI for Claude Desktop. In comparison all of the AI stuff for Google looks a little bit confusing and frustrating imo.

Why is it frustrating? I use it on MacOS every day, it's quite fine for me.
